Re: Startup problem with Java 1.6

Which domain name should I replace with IP when starting a local Java
application?

For applets, I could try your suggestion. But it is certain not to
help. The simple fact is, that Java does NOTHING for about 8 seconds,
before it starts downloading the Java applet archive, which it
indicates with a progress bar. Well, actually, it might contact some
overloaded server for something. So your sniffer suggestion is an
idea. But I would be rather disappointed, if Java halts on any applet
page for several seconds, just to phone home. Actually, I do not
believe in this.

I rather believe in some bug in Java on XP. There is one similar bug
filed on java.sun,com, but from the description, it does not fit into
my category, since it is experienced AFTER the jar is loaded from the
net.

By the way, if you want to try the applet in question, go to

http://zirkel.sourceforge.net/doc_en/Data/Applications/Conic%20Sections/Ellipse.html

or try any other of the geometric applets there (with the link on
top). The program archive is rather long, but loads only once. The
delay is in front of the loading. When I open another of these pages,
I have to stare at an empty applet space for about 7-8 seconds.
